Not sure how they can do this - but seems like there are a few things that would really help this work.

a - encourage the advertisers to make better ads. Ads are inherently useful - when they're relevant. Cool ads are entertainment in themselves. Anyone remember adcritic.com? Welcome to my Friday nights in college...

b - pass voting data back to the advertisers in some meaningful way. Haven't thought this through yet...

That's what I wish to happen. I do sometimes enjoy ads themselves. If advertisers find it's more effective to make nicer ads than to put crappy ads everywhere...
